Problem with initdb

From
Windemuth Andreas
Date:
I am getting failure of initdb with "Signal 12". Below
is the full response. I do not know what this means. I
have the ipc-daemon2 running and have recently updated
my cygwin  installation. Any help is much apreciated,
even just a general explanation of what this error is.

Thanks,

Andreas


$ initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -W -E LATIN1
The files belonging to this database system will be
owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

All,

My problem was solved after rolling back
Cygwin/postgreSQL by one version. Sorry, I do not have
the version numbers handy. It seems that there is an
incompatibility in the newest cygwin release between
the ipc-daemon2 and postgreSQL, possibly because
postgresql was switched to work with cygserver instead
instead of icpdaemon and the documentation has not
been updated with new instructions.

Hello,

There is a readme included with the install that has the updated
installation instructions.
